TINTYPE 1/6th PLATE – LITTLE BOY WITH BIRD. Delightful image of a really cute little boy with a bird at his feet. We suspect it is a stuffed bird. The boy has a wonderful expression. Great little suit and shoes. Nice subtle tinting of the boy’s cheeks. Size 2.5" x 4" in its original paper holder. This tintype is quite clear. Nice contrast. Condition is very good with no bends and just very minimal scratches.

Tintype of Young Boy and Drum C.1860-70. Superb 1/6 plate of a young boy and his snare drum. Pristine condition in a paper frame which must have been protected in an album. It is not glued into the frame. Imprint on back of paper appears to say "Frede Photo Gallery." Excellent contrast and particularly sharp.
 

CABINET PHOTO – MUSICIAN & HARP GUITAR C.1890. I am not a guitar expert. Some quick search engine research turned up several harp guitars that looked similar, so I am assuming this is one, too. This fine image gives an excellent look at the guitar itself, as well as its proud owner. Photograper: Jurgens, St. Paul, Minn. Size 4 1/4 x 6 1/2. Condition of both the image and card near mint. This was obviously well protected in an...

Vintage Poster - Messett's Musical Entertainers. C.1920 A classic American vaudeville piece with the star and chorus line. Artist: anonymous. Size 28" x 42". Bit of nouveau feel. Printed by D.L. Co, Newport, KY. #5138. This photo doesn't do it justice because of the glare and lack of vivid color. We own one of these that is framed and it looks terrific. This is not mounted on linen, but that isn't needed if it is going to be...
 

CABINET PHOTO – TOWN BAND – GREAT FACES What a rich cast of characters in this town band in Victorian England. C.1900. Love their instruments proudly stacked like rifles in front. Most of the men are wearing the same caps. Classic mustaches. Cigars. Walking sticks. They are in a field outside their town which can be seen in the background. Size: 5 x 7. Image condition is excellent. Card mount is also very good with just modest...
 

CABINET PHOTO – OLD DRUMMER BOY Intriguing shot of an older man playing a snare drum next to a lake in Vermont. Probably about 1890 or so, so he could possibly have been a drummer boy in the Civil War, which was about 35 years previous to the photo. The image is nice and sharp. Size 4.25" x 6.5". Photographer: Kingsley, Bristol, Vermont. Both the image and card mount are in excellent condition. There are some tiny...

Size 4.25" x 6.5". Image is nice and clear with only very slight yellowing. Card has almost no wear. Change of pace military piece.
